Therapy style
I am passionate about working with people toward meaningful change, healing, and lasting growth in their lives. I offer people a place to reflect and develop an understanding to work toward their goals in therapy. In our work together, we often explore patterns you may be repeating so that you may find more effective and authentic ways of being in the world. I am very interactive in sessions, drawing from both humanistic and Cognitive Behavioral Therapies to find practical and useful tools and skills.
I come from a clinical and personal background inspired by spirituality, mindfulness, and existentialism. My work often blends the sciences of neurobiology and depth psychology. I have years of experience working with individuals and families through different mental health challenges ranging from anxiety and depression to addictions. Most people I see are seeking more peace of mind, fulfillment, and happiness. I am here to help you navigate life’s most difficult periods so that you can move forward with your life and find whatever it is you’re looking for.
